The political hotspot of Kannur in north Kerala is set to witness a fierce Lok Sabha poll contest between sitting Congress MP K Sudhakaran, who is relying on the work done in the constituency, and CPI(M)'s P K Sreemathi as she counts on the anti-incumbency factor to tip the scales in favour of the Left alliance.

With several mega infrastructure projects being planned in the state, Kerala is now looking at active private sector participation in them, said PK Kunhalikutty, Minister for Industries and Information Technology (IT), here on Monday.
